Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, March 10, 2015

It may not be The Bahamas, but these "regulars" at McDonald's are enjoying coffee on the patio at McDonald's. Robert and Marsha Stull (left) sip a cup of joe with Lee and Connie Crouse. A week ago snow piled high on the table, making the table look like a giant ice cream cone.

Warm twice - here's how

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, February 19, 2015

He may not be Paul Bunyon from American folklore, but his name is Paul.

On a cold morning when the temperature was only 11 degrees, Paul Osborne and his son Jonathan glean wood from Claire Vaubel's home on West Lima Avenue.

The work of the chopping and hauling will heat the Osborne home southeast of Ada for a time.

Paul says the adage holds true: He who chops his own wood is warm twice...once from the labor, no matter the outside temperature, and once from the heat the wood provides.

How does Ada fare?

• Viva Maria diners filled the restaurant on Valentine's Day in spite of the snow and cold.

• Life goes on in spite of what Old Man Winter is throwing at us.
